IT’S no-frills dining at its finest in this restaurant on Laurel Hill Boulevard in 1938. Straight-backed wood seats, tables and checkered tablecloths in what was likely an Italian eatery. Within a few years, what was known as the Connecting Highway and is now part of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway would obliterate nearly everything on both sides of Laurel Hill Boulevard, which was once a bustling commercial strip but has now mostly been reduced to a BQE service road.
Laurel Hill Boulevard has its moments though, as is explained on this FNY page.
